The head 7 of the section 5 has a cylindrical extension 17 provided with a frusto-conical recess 8 receiving the projection 12. The extension 17 has an inwardlv extended lug 9 movable along the flat surface 15 when the projection 12 enters the recess 8, the lug being received in the groove 10 when the sections 5 and 6 are rotated with respect to each other, the end of the extension 17 thus being held in abutment with the shoulder 14.

hat is claimed is:

In a device of the class described, a shaker bar section, and a grate bar section, the sections being provided at their meeting ends with broadened heads, the head of one section having a frusto-conical projection defining a shoulder at the end of said head. the projection having a flat longitudinal surface and being provided with a transverse groove one side wall of which is formed by the shoulder. the head of the other section having a cylindrical extension provided with a frusto-conical recess receiving the projection, the extension having an inwardly extended lug movable along the flat surface when the projection enters the recess, and received in the groove, when the sections are rotated with respect to each other, to hold the end of the extension in abutment with the shoulder.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
